Wedding Cake Decorating Techniques -
If youve recently planned a wedding, you know that every little detail can cost a good deal of money. The wedding dress, the limousine, the band and food for the reception all can total what seems like a small fortune. If there is a way to save money most brides and their grooms are happy to hear about it. One easy way is to take a wedding cake decorating class. It can seem very intimidating to think about decorating something as important as the cake that will be the centerpiece of your wedding. Most people dont even consider this a possibility and instead order an extravagant cake that can cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. If there is someone in your family who enjoys baking and is creative offer to attend a wedding cake decorating class with them. The baking part of the equation is fairly simple. In fact, you can even purchase plain, cakes that havent yet been iced from most bakeries. This is going to cost a bit more than baking the cakes yourself, but its certainly an affordable timesaver. In fact many bakeries who sell plain cakes may also offer a workshop that focuses on how to decorate a wedding cake. Its best to practice a bit before the big day. If youve been to a class to learn how to decorate cakes, yet youve never done it in practice, you really shouldnt try it on the cake on the day of the wedding. Although you could claim it to be an original work of art, your guests may wonder exactly who did the wedding cake decorating and whether or not they should chance eating a piece. Id suggest trying with a smaller version of the actual cake a few weeks before the big day. What many people have found helpful is to purchase a few pieces of Styrofoam in the shape of the wedding cake and try decorating those. Remember that the texture will naturally be quite different than a cake will be, but the wedding cake decorating techniques most important when you are just beginning to experiment. As with anything new trial and error is the key to success. Take your time when you are creating your cake. Icing is very forgiving and can mask many mistakes. Remember that it doesnt have to be perfect. Wedding cake decorating is as much about creativity as it is about skill. Besides, if the cake itself tastes delicious, as most wedding cakes do, your guests wont even notice if a candy rose is missing its petals.

The Intrigue of Celebrity Weddings
The Wedding Photographer -
Often times, after reading about celebrity weddings and what the cost was, I wonder why they bothered. These lavish celebrity weddings amaze me. Some celebrities spend millions of dollars to wed and pamper their guests when they simply get divorced within a few years. Sure, they may have thought that when they said 'til death do us part', they meant them. However, many celebrity weddings end in court cases not too long afterwards. I admit though, I love to look at photos of brilliant celebrity weddings. I love seeing their gowns and the decorations. The cakes are always unique and extravagant; I imagine they taste just as wonderful as they look. I also love to see pictures of the guests to see how many other celebrities were in attendance. Celebrity weddings are always a top priority for the media and attract more attention than they probably deserve. Of course, some celebrity weddings have resulted in what seems to be happily ever after. There are some famous couples who have been together for a very long time. I think that's wonderful. Many celebrity weddings are held out of the country to attempt to avoid the paparazzi and media attention. They try to keep wedding dates and locations top secret to further avoid the attention. Sometimes they are successful but once the media even has an inkling that there may be a celebrity wedding, they will camp out for days for that photo opportunity. And let's face it, celebrity weddings provide for some photos that probably pay some big money. When photos do surface from celebrity weddings, brides-to-be cut out photos and carry them around with them. They want their cake to resemble so and so's cake, they want their hair to be done like the celebrity's was. Brides want to wear dresses that a particular celebrity wore. It can create much admiration and a determination to have a wedding that may be similar to some celebrity weddings. Many fans planning their weddings will find out where the celebrity couple spent their honeymoon and attempt to visit there as well. Unless there is quite a bit of money to be spent, being able to reserve the same locations that celebrity weddings took place or visit their honeymoon destination, a simpler plan needs to take place. I can't help but wonder, if you are invited to celebrity weddings, what in the world do you bring as a gift? I mean, you're attending a wedding of a celebrity - what can you get them that they don't already have? I'd like to just have the money that is spent to have one of these lavish celebrity weddings. I'd even take a quarter of the money. Or many an invitation.

Cookie Cutter Wedding Favors
Favors For Weddings -
I had never seen cookie cutter wedding favors before I got one at a wedding last year. I dont know if they are a new tradition or if they have been around for a while, but I thought they were very cute. What a great idea. They may be more common than I know, or they may just be coming up in popularity now. Either way, if you are looking for a great idea for a favor for your wedding but you are drawing a blank, this might be something you want to consider. You can find a cookie cutter in almost any theme. Just think about what your wedding will be, and then look for the perfect cookie cutter wedding favors to go with your theme. If you have a fall wedding, you may want to get one in the shape of a leaf or perhaps a pumpkin. You can add a poem to your cookie cutter wedding favors and tie it on with a ribbon. You can probably find these in bulk at your favorite home store, or you may want to look online for some good deals. If you cant find what you want anywhere, make sure you check eBay. Just make sure the ones you are getting are brand new and made of the material you are looking for. You can find already made cookie cutter wedding favors online that you can order. They may come with a poem already tied on, and you can in most cases get them personalized with your name, wedding date and anything else that you may wish to include. There are many places that now have them, so go ahead and shop around for the best deal you can find. Watch the shipping prices though. Your good deal might be wiped out with really high shipping prices if you arent careful. This is a huge problem on eBay, so almost look at that before you even consider what they have to offer. To make your cookie cutter wedding favors even more special, you may want to include cookies in a jar with your cookie cutter. You can find these or you can make them yourself. A cookie in a jar is basically the dry ingredients for cookies all put in one jar so you just have to take them home, add the wet ingredients and back your cookies. If you want to add this to your cookie cutter wedding favors, make sure you do a cookie that requires a cutter. One popular choice might be sugar cookies. You can even add a baggie of toppings to add to the cookies.

Contemporary Wedding Invitations
Savannah Weddings -
Are you planning a wedding? If you've just become engaged, now is a good time to start. There are more details than you can shake a stick at, ones you may never have imagined. You want everything to be perfect and that is a tall order indeed. While there are traditional and more contemporary styles of weddings, we're going to take a look at one item in the mountain of details: contemporary wedding invitations. What you'll find is information to make your personalized contemporary wedding invitations just perfect. Contemporary wedding invitations are usually highly personalized to the bride and groom, incorporating photographs or even paintings of the happy couple, if you have an artist in your circle of friends. With digital technology and graphics design software, you can create backgrounds that may be printed on blank stock. If the newlyweds are honeymooning in Hawaii, a tropical scene as your background can make a happy memory live forever in this keepsake. Contemporary wedding invitations are sometimes printed on a single high rag content card rather than the traditional note card style. This alone adds to the contemporary flavor and mood of your invitations. You'll need to decide whether you'll have the words of the invitation printed or hand lettered. Calligraphy is quite popular in contemporary wedding invitations. You might consider a rapidograph to hand print invitations, complete with serifs on each letter, for a distinctive, contemporary look. If you choose to have your invitations professionally printed, be aware there are many printing options available. Some are very pricey, and you may not find all of them suitable to contemporary wedding invitations. Keep your mind open when exploring these options. Engraving, embossing and thermography are some examples of printing embellishments. Although the contemporary wedding invitations generally bend the rules a bit, certain points of protocol still apply. If you pick stock invitations, they'll come with matching envelopes. If your invitations are hand made, there are still standard sizes of papers and envelopes to match that size of paper stock. Depending on your invitation design, you may want a colored envelope to make the perfect presentation. Other tasks you'll need to accomplish in producing your finished invitations include ordering or designing thank you notes, creating a clear map of directions to the event and RSVP cards. If ordering printed cards, you'll want to find out your printer's required lead time to deliver your invitations. You'll want to mail them out at least 6 weeks to 2 months in advance, so your guests will have plenty of time to adjust their schedule as necessary and make flight reservations if they'll be traveling a distance. Now you must see how important it is to get going with planning your wedding. If you follow these tips, you'll have picture-perfect contemporary wedding invitations. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consult with a wedding planner!

Second Wedding Anniversary Gift
Cookie Cutter Wedding Favors -
Those who follow tradition know that the second wedding anniversary gift is cotton. Although the first thing that might spring into your mind is cotton sheets or a cotton pillow there is a whole host of innovative ideas that make a great gift. When you are considering a second wedding anniversary gift for someone you know think about what they enjoy. Most couples who have been married for two years already have many of the essentials. They probably have more than enough cotton bed sheets and towels. Considering something outside of the linen box might be a better idea. A personalized notepad and envelopes made from cotton paper is a lovely idea for a second wedding anniversary gift. These can be made to order with the couples monograms tucked away in a corner of the envelopes or incorporated into the background of the paper. Most people never order personalized stationary for themselves and they welcome it as a gift. The couple can use it when sending notes to friends and family. Its a nice gesture and it still honors the cotton tradition. For those with an eye on the more modern traditions of anniversaries, they know that china is also a second wedding anniversary gift. If you know the china pattern that the couple had listed in the gift registry for their wedding than you can choose a piece they can add to what they already have. You can also choose a second wedding anniversary gift that uses the china idea in a different way. A fun notion is to purchase a gift certificate for the couple for a Chinese restaurant. Theyll appreciate the evening out and of course will enjoy the wonderful cuisine. Another idea that is related to that is to compile a gift basket that includes many of the wonderful treasures that can be found in China. This can include items such as Chinese spice blends, chopsticks and fortune cookies. A very special idea for a second wedding anniversary gift is a handmade Chinese calligraphy picture. These are wonderful when framed and hung on a wall in the couples home. You can have them specially made for you and they can express anything you wish for them too, including the word love or commitment. There are many fun and thoughtful ideas when it comes to choosing a second wedding anniversary gift. Consider the couples interests and what they may not already have. Make the gift as memorable for them as the past two years of married life have been.

Wedding Photos
Celebrity Weddings -
I work in a very large company. We have people from varying backgrounds that work there. Many of the support staff have high school diplomas and some technical training. The designers, sales people and management staff have advanced degrees. Many of our projects involve members of every department working together to meet deadlines. This is when life can get very interesting, as well as fun. I enjoy working with people. I find the differences in peoples personalities and preferences quite enjoyable as well as humorous. One of the lead people on our latest project is a very stern by the book sort of woman. She is a stickler for details and is quite outspoken. One of the support staff on the project is quite the opposite. She is fun loving and often times flies by the seat of her pants. She also has great computer skills as well as clerical skills. She is always my first pick to have involved in a project. During this recent project her daughter was married. At one of the planning meeting she brought along wedding photos to share with the group. When we meet for project meetings we usually start mid morning and have a brownbag lunch brought in at noon so we can continue working. There is usually a short break when people are getting their lunch together when people chat. It was during this time that the worker brought out the wedding photos. I do not know the womans daughter, but I have heard stories about how wild she can get at parties. Her wedding was no exception. The wedding photos were of the reception and the bride dancing on the table tops and other various antics. They had been placed in an album to keep them from getting bent or soiled. According to the wedding photos the reception had been quite an event. Several of us were looking at them when the lead worker was out of the room. When she walked back in she asked what we were doing. We told her we were looking at wedding photos. This interested her because her daughter recently got married, which was a huge social event in the community. I had to leave the room because I was laughing so hard at the look on the lead workers face when she saw the wedding photos. I had seen the formal portraits that were taken at her daughters wedding. I am sure she could not imagine a wedding reception like the one she was seeing in these wedding photos. It situations like this that keeps life interesting.

Wedding Anniversary Gifts
A Las Vegas Outdoor Wedding -
Finding just the right wedding anniversary gifts can be difficult sometimes. In fact, remembering that special couple on their special day has been a tradition for centuries. In fact, a long time ago, it was decided that certain gifts should be given as wedding anniversary gifts depending on the length of time a couple had been married. For example, a gift made of paper should be given for the first anniversary. In modern times, this has been changed to giving the celebrants clocks as wedding anniversary gifts. For the traditional fourth anniversary gift of something made of linen or silk, now we give appliances as gifts. I guess somebody figure out that after four years, that microwave oven given as a wedding gift would need replacing. Traditional gift giving for the seventh year is something made of wool or even copper. For the 21st century, you should give the happy couple desk sets as their wedding anniversary gifts. Other traditional anniversary gifts include ivory for the 14th year, now replaced by gold jewelry, and wrist watches instead of crystal for the fifteenth year of marriage. However, if you want to ignore the customs for wedding anniversary gifts and find something different, there are many companies that specialize in these kinds of gifts. For example, some travel agencies are unique in that they arrange trips for couples as either wedding or wedding anniversary gifts. If you give this as a gift, you can be guaranteed that the couple will be treated like royalty to celebrant their special occasion. Treating your special couple to a fancy night on the town always makes a great gift. However, think about something different. Everyone knows one of those restaurants where you need to make reservations months in advance to get a table. By doing that, you have told the anniversary couple that they have been in your thoughts for some time. Personalized wedding anniversary gifts are sometimes the best. It does not take a great amount of time and effort to purchase bath towels or bathrobes with names embroidered on them. And all of these anniversary gifts are available through the click of your mouse. However, personalized gifts do not have to mean matching house slippers. How would they feel if you had poetry written especially for them or an artist painting their picture as a gifts]? There is an almost unlimited variation of wedding anniversary gifts if you search a little bit and use your imagination.
